 * Symbol confirmed.svg Well-cited, neutral, hook is cited, sufficient length. Intriguing topic too, nice work. ViperSnake151   Talk  06:31, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Returned from prep per discussion at WT:DYK. Teams do not play "in a football rivalry". Rather, the rivalry is what led to the hooliganism. Proposing a shorter hook for page creator's review:
